Learning about thanksgiving is much different than how it actually happened. What thanksgiving really is about is a colonial holiday about war and military victory and genocide. Power that we “Americans” had over a “found” land that was already found. People came from England to come together but in doing so they hurt people and took over because the power that they had. The Native Americans tried to help and share, with almost no benefit at all and then they were betrayed. Americans came together to kill and take over after they were given knowledge on how to live on this already found land. They had the power of guns and many people and it was to their advantage. The power of coming together can conquer all whether it’s for the good or bad.
